Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it should be Manawydan not Manawyddan. (Reference Y Mabinogion Dafydd a Rhiannon Ifans, Gwag Gomer).
There are some major contradictions in the geneaology. (See Beli Mawr, Llŷr, Penarddun and Welsh mythology#Characters in particular. I get the impression there may be more. Spyforthemoon 16:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Additionally, I think a category would be appropriate for the members of the Characters section. Whether this should be the existing Category:Welsh gods or something else, perhaps Welsh Legendary Characters. I'm not terrbily familiar with the subject matter, so don't feel qualified to make the call as to which.Spyforthemoon 18:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Welsh Deities??"
It could be said that the only well-attested to instances of ANY known non-christian deities worshipped by the Welsh are those named in inscriptions on Romano-Celtic altars.
I would like to see some serious discussion on the merit of near universal custom of elevating to god/goddesshood virtually any of the primary characters in the stories of the Welsh corpus. Earrach 3/26/07
